Missouri-based Concrete Council Holds ICF Event on School Construction
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
In early June, the Concrete Council (St. Louis and Missouri) supported a presentation on Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) construction for schools as a way to dramatically reduce utility expense and provide resilience and safety in the face of weather disasters just three weeks after an F3 tornado ravaged the St. Louis area. More than 40 people (some seen here, being addressed by Marcy Tyler, director of building science, Tremco CG, at far right holding microphone) attended the three-hour program which featured national and local speakers from suppliers, a premier ICF architect in the country and local school district officials from Missouri and Illinois who have utilized ICF and are considering further ICF projects.
The Concrete Council works closely with suppliers and NRMCA's Build With Strength program to promote consideration of ICF construction for schools, emergency operations centers, hotel and multi-family construction.
